Yamaha Other description

A great opportunity to buy an extremely nice, very original, running, titled 125 Yamaha Enduro!!!  The one you drooled on when you were a kid.

This bike makes you smile just staring at it!!

I just don't know how this beauty survived 40 years without being crashed, beaten, "stripped down to save weight", etc....It's a  Good bet this bike was never in the hands of some kid!!!

Somewhere along the decades...it  appears someone may have re -painted the cylinder black. All the red and grey/silver is original

Make no mistake... this bike is screaming bright red... the early morning sun made it look a little washed out in some pics.

Clean Michigan Title
2929 Miles!!!!!
Runs nice and shifts, stops ,idles correct too.   Does not have that "I've been beat to death" piston slap. Nice tight engine
Build date 12/74   titled as a 1976

Lights and guages work as does the electric start. Battery is a bit weak

please note seat has a rip that I fixed with some Black silicone.

Underseat very nice and clean. seatpan nice and original paint. seatfoam nice shape not rotted
Oil injection intact and working
Bars not original but nice
hand controls and buttons in great shape.. no broken buttons

bike appears to have "never been beaten, extremely dirty, drug thru mud bogs, etc". It's never been "a rusty mess"

I believe the tires are original... there is some dry rot but hold air just fine.
spokes are in nice shape... rims are very nice... but do notice the 2 inch spot on the right side of the front rim where the chrome is scraped..  Beyond that... rims and spokes are very nice and shine with nice luster

The paint gleams and there is no fade
The is an ever so slight crease in the top of the tank..... will try to get a picture but it's so faint. I mean it;s slight!!
front fender in great shape.. slight amount of paint flaked off the top.. slight... but not broken, cracked, tweaked or fixed.

Headlight ears straight and never tweaked... how did that happen?

pipe and silencer and heat guard all in nice shape

happy to answer question or take special pictures

overseas sales just fine with me, I will work with your shipper

This is a very original example of this iconic early enduro... I bet you'd be hard pressed to find another un-restored one around in this kind of crisp, clean condition

No vintage bike ad is complete without the word "patina"... this bike has less patina than you would expect!!!  There... I used the word!!

NO PAYPAL FOR ENTIRE PURCHASE UNLESS YOU ARE PAYING THE FEE!!  300.00 IMMEDIATE DEPOSIT REQUIRED and please contact me asap after listing is over. Thanks

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.

French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.

Unique Sounds of the New Yamaha R1

Tue, 06 Jan 2009

When Yamaha announced its new R1 literbike last fall, company reps told us about the tractability assets of its new, MotoGP-derived crossplane crankshaft for the four-cylinder engine. It’s unique in that cylinders fire 90-degrees apart, allegedly enabling better grip during acceleration. A byproduct of this design is an exhaust note that is distinctive in this world of cookie-cutter designs.
